      - Trace for general data
        The trace file records map execution progress. You can enable the trace option from the map settings or from the adapter command line. You can trace the input data, the output data, or both.
      - Static file validation and tracing
        HCL Link validates a static input file in a compiled map only once, when the map loads, and produces a trace file only if the static file fails validation.

  Use the schema designer to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.

  Files are used in various places within HCL Link. HCL Link allows files to be uploaded to the HCL Linkserver.

Creating an XML trace file

About this task

Enable certain MapTrace settings to create an XML trace file.

Procedure

To create an XML trace file:

In the Link Navigator view of the Link Server, right-click the map that contains references to XML schema, and click Map Settings.
Set the MapTrace > Switch setting to ON.
Set the MapTrace > InputContentTrace setting to All.

Results

After you run the map, the XML trace file is created. You can find the XML trace file (mapname_log.xml) in the map directory, unless otherwise specified. The file opens in your default browser. When you run the map again, the existing file is overwritten.
